The Hampton-Dumont boys’ soccer squad has come a long way under coach Danielle Arana, but still has some distance to go before finishing the season.

DES MOINES — If one is good, two would be even better. 
That was the attitude for Hampton-Dumont/CAL sophomore Charlee Morton who became the school’s second-ever Drake Relays champion with a victory in the discus Thursday and then doubled-up with a win Friday in the shot put.

The cold and wet weather has set in on Iowa and caused the postponement of some highly anticipated soccer matches. The H-D-CAL boys’ soccer team looked to bounce back with a couple of conference matches against Clear Lake and Humboldt, but mother nature prevented that from happening by bringing cold, wet and windy conditions. An idle week did not hurt the Bulldogs in the rankings, as they continue to climb to eighth place.

A drastic change in the weather made it difficult for the Bulldog track athletes to compete this last week, but the boys and girls each got one chance to compete. The boys were supposed to host a home meet on Monday, but it was canceled due to cold temperatures. The boys found a makeup meet in Brooklyn at BGM on Tuesday. The girls also ran on Tuesday but had their meet at Belmond-Klemme Friday canceled due to weather conditions.

Charlee Morton qualified for the Drake Relays in the discuss last week and accomplished the same in the shot put this week.  The boys 4x100, made up of Jack Drier, Tate Murray, Gavin Meader, and Tony Valenzuela, also met the blue standard this week and will be headed to the Drake Relays.  The boys coaches are still hoping that Jack Drier could qualify individually in the 100m dash or the 4x200 could also make it down to run on the blue oval. 

The Hampton-Dumont-CAL soccer program has been trending up the past few seasons.  The girls program is starting to see a lot of growth as girls find their way to the field in the spring.  The boys program under Coach Danielle Arana has made huge strides and has raised the level of expectations each and every season.  The boys are living up to those expectations at the beginning of the 2023 season by starting out red hot.

The Drake Relays are a special tradition in the state of Iowa.  They began in 1910 with high school and college athletes from the Des Moines area competing against each other and the event has grown ever since then.  In 1961, Drake added female events, continuing the prestigious tradition for both young men and women. Over the intervening years numerous olympic gold medalists have competed.  To automatically qualify for the Drake Relays an Iow
